This is notable, since the Sunshine Superman is not commonly found performing in venues normally reserved for council meetings and wedding fairs.

Audience members can expect songs including ๐— ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—น๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐—ฌ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—น๐—ผ๐˜„, ๐—๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ, ๐—›๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฑ๐˜† ๐—š๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฑ๐˜† ๐— ๐—ฎ๐—ป, and ๐—–๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฐ๐—ต ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ช๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฑ. Despite sounding like items from four entirely different concerts, they will all be performed by the same person.

Doors open at 6.45pm. The show begins at 7:30pm. People will sit. People will stand. Someone will clap at the wrong time. Someone else will confidently announce they โ€œhavenโ€™t heard Catch the Wind in yearsโ€, delivering this information as though it were restricted access.

And yes, someone will inevitably declare they โ€œpreferred his early stuffโ€. This outcome is unavoidable and should be accepted in advance.

If you wish to witness a living legend while maintaining a perfectly neutral facial expression, this event is ideal.

Last night in the iconic Guildhall was one of those rare evenings where everything aligns. Richard Thompson took to the stage and reminded everyone exactly why heโ€™s regarded as a true master.

From the first note, the atmosphere shifted, that unmistakable guitar tone, the storytelling, the ease, the command. It was all there. Then, in the second half, Zara Phillips joined Richard on stage, adding a new depth and dynamic to the performance. Their connection, both musically and personally, brought something special to the room.

The evening opened with The Henry Girls, who brought the warmth, precision, and unmistakable Donegal spirit theyโ€™re known for. Their harmonies filled the Guildhall in a way only they can, creating the perfect foundation for what followed. They set the tone beautifully.

A remarkable night in a remarkable venue. Nights like this make me stop and appreciate my city even more, its heritage, its people, and the privilege of being even a small part of bringing moments like this to life.

You can check out our upcoming programme and stay updated through our website, www.musiccapital.org thereโ€™s plenty more on the way for those who love live music as much as we do.

They said it would never work.
They said the name was stupid.
They said Derry would never be a music destination.
They said no one would come.
They said concerts without alcohol were madness.
They said midโ€‘week shows would flop.

Wellโ€ฆ they were wrong.

As we wrap up the 2025/2026 season in the North West, weโ€™re closing it out with full houses, not just in Derry, but in Belfast and Dublin, and right across the island.

We've welcomed guests from all over the world, people whoโ€™ve travelled far and wide to be part of what weโ€™re building.

Not only have we brought some incredible artists into the city, but our mission has stayed on track from day one: giving local and grassroots musicians real opportunities. Countless emerging artists have opened our shows, stepped onto major stages, and played to full houses they might never have reached otherwise.

This will be our my first summer working straight through, with some of the biggest gigs landing during the Fleadh Cheoil.

And now that weโ€™ve filled all but one of the largest venues in the cityโ€ฆ it might be nearly time to drop a few belters for that last one.

๐—™๐—น๐—ฎ๐—บ๐˜† ๐—š๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜, the acclaimed drag artist and singerโ€‘songwriter from Asheville, North Carolina, brings her powerful vocals, bold storytelling, and Appalachianโ€‘inspired drag performance to Derry this November.

Her debut album Bible Belt Baby made drag history by reaching #1 on the iTunes Christian charts. Her followโ€‘up album CHURCH earned an International Folk Music Award nomination for Best Album and reached #8 on the iTunes Country charts.
